This page is within the scope of WikiProject Former countries, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of defunct states and territories (and their subdivisions). If you would like to participate, please join the project.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Anyone can help? This would be very helpful to increase the coverage of the republics' anthem. Just make sure the work is standarized like the other music sheets, if you can't, I can upload a new version to fix it.--Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 07:21, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Latinisation in the Soviet Union needs some work; it's missing any hint of the practice of Latinising one language and Cyrillicizing a neighboring one, especially in Turkic and Siberian area, to thwart literature sharing and other means of building a cultural identity and resistance. Something I saw some documentary stuff on a while back, but I don't have any written material on it (USSR stuff isn't my speciality!). — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 01:54, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
